The Committee met on June 16, 1981 to review the status and goals of existing nuclear waste management programs. Their purpose was to identify key issues requiring legislative action. Confidence in the safety of the fuel cycle and the need for an established disposal method are critical to public acceptance of nuclear reactors and could preclude the success of a demonstration program to accelerate facility licensing. Sheldon Meyers, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Waste Management of DOE, outlined recent changes in the program that discontinue Away-from-Reactor storage plans, reorient the Terminal Isolation Program, and authorize the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant project. The hearing record includes Meyers' statement, answers to questions posed by the committee, and support materials. (DCK)
